Consumer Description

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AT MY 26,000 MILE CHECK UP 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TOLD ME MY TIRES WERE WORN OUT. I WAS HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SHOULD WEAR OUT AT 26,000 MILES. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THEM IN THE 30,000 MILE REPLACEMENT CLAUSE. SOON AFTER FIRESTONE STARTED HAVING RECALLS, I BELIEVE MY TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE NOT WORN OUT. *AK (TIRESIZE: RX15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: RX15 )
